If you look at the VC3 and VC4 output (hit cntl-alt-f3 and -f4), are there any odds looking errors messages from the kernel? Before relating errors that appear at the VC3 and VC4 output, I'dd like to
refer my drives: two HDS (One (hda)Western Digitals-4MB- and another one (hdb)
Fujitsu-3,5mb; TWO IDE ATAPI CD-ROM: A btc cdrom 24x (hdc) and a HP CD-Writer
Plus 8100 (hdd). I (tried to) install linux on HDB.
I Found errors:
(errors may not be written EXACTLY as they appeared, may have some mistakes)
DURING STARTING UP INSTALL:
<4> hdc error: illegal request... faled - "Mode Select 10" - packet
error... "50 11 10 10 10 10 10 10 18 10 10 10"
DURING PARTITIONS FORMATING:
write_intr error 1 nr_sectors=1,stat=0x51
ide reset=success
(this one appeared over 100 times (or more)during disk formating
DURING FILE COPYING:
EXT2-fs error - read-inode bitmap
cannot read inode bitmap
hdb:read_intr: status=0x59 {Drive Ready Seek Complete DataRequest Error}
hdb:read_intr: error=0x10 {Sector 10 Not Found} , LBASect = 7170631,sector=6815
(this appeared realy a lot of times)
Another note: when I try to install by copying the cd files to my HD and
install from HD, the installation stops in the middle of the copying files part
and lots of words and sentences appear in my screen. I have to reboot manually.
It just gets stuck.
These are hardware errors with your hard drive (hdb). It would seem this drive is failing perhaps, or the cabling is bad? Unfortunately it is not a problem related to the installer. I've tested the drive and the cable and they seem alright! The HD works under Windows. I think: I used a CD-Copy of an original RedHat 7 (I lost the original one(s) :( ! ). Can't the error be because of not using an original cd? (My original Cd's worked fine on another computer I have, but I didn't even get to try it on this one). What type of IDE controller is the hard drive attached to? Closing due to inactivity - please reopen if you have anything to add to the bug report. |
